On top of that, the man hits his deadlines!”

“If you know of a more iconic photographer than Roy Inman, more steeped in Kansas City, you’re incorrect. Roy sees and captures the moment better than anyone else can.

“As a freelance writer and former editor of two upscale lifestyle publications in Kansas City, I have had the great experience of working with Roy Inman. He truly defines collaboration and creativity. Not only is Roy a technically talented and thoughtful photographer, he always has his eye on how to tell stories visually, in a fresh and compelling way, and is diligent and dedicated to any task. I always know when Roy is photographing one of my stories my words are in a master visual storyteller’s hands.”

“Roy is professional and courteous at all times and respects the safety and security of the areas where word is taking place. He knows what a photo should be and is always willing to take whatever time is necessary to get high quality results…no matter the conditions! Roy places the needs of his clients as top priority in his planning and the results prove it! The days he was involved in my projects were days I looked forward to. Roy’s just a genuinely nice person to boot.”
